Well after endless threats to put in MacGyver instead of my son's favorite cartoon show, He finally gave in and asked me to actually put MacGyver in.

So I decided what the hey! So 2 nights ago, I decided to play the original pilot to my 4yo and he loved it!

I'm still in 2 minds about playing some episodes as there were some that were obviously too violent or scary for a 4yo to watch but have no problem with the latter ones.

So it has been off to a good start so far.

That was approximately my age when I started to watch. This was mostly episodes like The Gun and Twenty Questions. But I didn't understand any of it. To me it was the guy who can make anything and waiting for that moment. I even saw Lesson In Evil at a fairly young age. Again not understanding it, couldn't make any connection to Lecter or whatever. I remember not liking it because MacGyver was wearing a tie. He was cool because he was not like any other guy I knew. At that time, I figured men always had to wear decent suits, ties, shirt, polished shoes. MacGyver was not like that until I saw Lesson In Evil. The mind of a 4-year old.

I think the poison that was used was applied to this knife, passed to the mutton when it was cut and then activated by the wine. - MacGyver.

Thanks everyone.
